Instructor: Lola Miller, LLM Safety Together, we will explore the “New View of Safety” versus “Traditional Safety”. How your role as a leader will have a strong influence on your safety results and culture at your facility. This will not be the repeat Safety Leadership training concentrating on the programs you will need to support. Instead we will touch on your core safety responsibility such as risk assessment (JSA), incident investiga-tion, how to conduct safety meetings/talks, etc. but we will spend more time understanding how to incorporate Todd Conklin ’s 5 Prin-ciples of Human Performance to maximize your results and provide you with the tools to lead your employees in a highly successful safety program. This training takes into accounts some of the most current safety leader’s views on Safety and on Human and Or-ganizational Performance (HOP). After over 30 years our incident rate of recordable accidents have steadily decreased but our fatali-ty and serious injury rates have stayed for the most part stagnant. As leaders, we can make a difference by changing our approach to safety. 5 Principles of Human Performance: • Error is Normal – Even the BEST makes mistakes • Blame Fixes Nothing • Learning & Improving is VITAL – Learning is deliberate • Context influences Behavior – Systems drive outcomes • How you respond to failures matters – How Leaders act and respond

Instructor: Aaron Roth, KAS This course provides awareness and basic training for employees to respond to spills. The course will focus on OSHA requirements in dealing with chemical and petroleum spills and will touch upon other jurisdictional requirements. Topics include:

• Planning for spill response • Use of the Emergency Response Guidebook • Spill identification • Protection of responders (personal protective equipment) • Spill containment procedures • Spill cleanup procedures • Paperwork and final notification procedures

Instructor: Charles Alexander, Injury & Health Management Solutions This workshop will provide education to help reduce the risk of Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTD) and other musculoskeletal inju-ries and is designed specifically for employees who work in an office setting. We will teach safe work behavior and ergonomics that can be applied to any workstation at your office. We will also teach appropriate stretching and injury prevention strategies that can be performed on the job. Emphasis will be placed on motivating employees to accept responsibility for the set-up of their workstations and the care of their bodies. They will be taught the misconception of “ergonomic equipment” as the primary solution for aches and pains. This is a positive, dynamic, interactive, and educational experience for all participants. The outline of the workshop is as follows:

Part I. Introduction of Ergonomics – Understanding Why Injuries Occur Part II. Body as a Machine – Staying Healthy and Productive Part III. Office Ergonomics and Injury Prevention Training – Being in Your Mind and Body Part IV. Sit/Stand workstation education- A review of the literature - when is it appropriate? Part IV. Stretching and injury prevention strategies Part V. Questions/Answers Included in this training will be a focus on providing employees/employers with the information they need to know to be informed

consumers of sit to stand workstations (for example Pneumatic or Varidesks options). • Attendees will be educated on the pros vs. cons of standing stations and considerations, based on their own bodies, as to wheth-er static standing at their workstation is the best option for them. • This training helps employees understand the research around static standing at a computer workstation, appropriate heights for standing work and ergonomic considerations to prevent discomfort or injury with standing. • We will also discuss the fact that standing at a computer workstation is not appropriate or the best option for all employees. • This training information will help save the employer from purchasing underutilized or unnecessary equipment. Following the workshop, participants should be able to: Understand their role in injury prevention ; understand how the body works; understand how fatigue and poor biomechanics lead to injury; be able to set up a safe work environment to promote safe work prac-tices; apply ergonomic concepts to both sitting and standing workstations, apply stretching techniques; and understand that “ergonomic equipment” is only a minor part of the injury management solution.
